assignment of variable on command line and calculation of derived variables fails

[qlx4r]

Thank you very much for just.sh, it has been an indispensable tool for me.

I believe I have noticed a discrepancy between just and just.sh. Consider the following justfile:

foo := "111"
bar := "000" + foo 

@do:
  echo foo: {{ foo }}
  echo bar: {{ bar }}

This yields the following results:

$ just 
foo: 111
bar: 000111

$ just foo=222
foo: 222
bar: 000222

The same after compiling to just.sh:

$ ./just.sh
foo: 111
bar: 000111

$ ./just.sh foo=222
foo: 222
bar: 000111

I think that assignment of variables, and the calculation of dependent variables need to be separated out.

I am using just v1.39.0 and just.sh v0.0.2

Hi @qlx4r, thanks for raising this, and for using just.sh!

This does seem to be a bug. I'll make a test for it, get a fix working, and push an update as soon as I can. Probably within the next few days.

Thanks again for reporting this, and for including a helpful, minimal example for me to reproduce!

Much appreciated! I forgot to mention that this also applies to the other syntax of settings variables:

$ just --set foo 222
foo: 222
bar: 000222

$ ./just.sh --set foo 222
foo: 222
bar: 000111

thank you for the quick response, and the amazing work on just.sh

I pushed a fix that I believe works. This may not find its way into a pip release until after #2 is merged. Hopefully @lsnow99 or I will look at that soon, at which point I'll tag a new version, and then will push the latest to PyPI.

Thanks again @qlx4r for reporting this and providing a test case. I'm glad just.sh is useful to you! If you're interested in sharing at some point, I'm curious to hear more about your use case.
